lizards on toast :: stupid holidays (computing, personal)

. Evil Brett.. making me do stuff. I’ve been a little busy lately. No, really, I have. Amy let me pick up a 48u rack cabinet from a guy I work with, so I’ve been busy setting that up as well. It currently has power (I gave it it’s own twenty amp line from the power box), and I replaced the batteries in the main ups. It also has the basic network setup, but I have to partially recable the house; the majority of systems are now on the bottom floor.

. Aside from that (and holiday stuff, which I hate), we switched back to twelve-hour shifts for the holidays. I have a soldier of the month board I’ve been studying for. There’s a bit of competition between myself and Fitz, so I’ve been running more. Well, running a lot. Enough that I managed to get hurt. It was just a little run (four miles), but I’ve got stress fractures through my left shin now. I find out tomorrow how bad it is. yay. :]

. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, Brett, but you’re hitting the photo-album thingy before I do. That’s why it takes so long to get the thumbnails. You’re seeing photos Amy takes that I haven’t seen yet. That’s why some of them are so horrible.. like the one of me reading a book in sleep pants. dc=

. We’ve been listening to the tallywood string quartet. They’ve done a -lot- of tributes that I’d never heard before. You should all (yes, all two of you) go find their discography somewhere. Legally, of course. Far be it from me to suggest anything illegal. :]

. Did anyone else not know that a new Dune book was out? I’ve read it now, and it’s great. Beyond great, even. Classic. I almost prefer it to some of the original books. That might be because I’m a lot older now then I was when I read the originals, but you never know.

. It’s time to go to PT now, so I suppose I’ll post this. I’ll get back to writing more often, I promise. It’s a little easier now that the network’s back up.. :]

out.
